I overlooked this one and it no longer applies because of
another change from you:
9f94c7f947e9 perf tools: Increase MAX_NR_CPUS and MAX_CACHES

my worry here (did not check completely) is that some paths you
changed can't use number of cpus from sysconf(_SC_NPROCESSORS_ONLN),
because they are within the report code path, and the data can come
from another machine with different number of cpus
